I can't read books with FBreader on the Droid. I even tried what someone suggested, which was downloading it from the Web site rather than from the Market. The books download, but FBreader can't see them. Is it perhaps because I also downloaded the Aldiko reader? The epub format books I download go into SDCard/eBooks, which is where Aldiko likes them. I even copied them to SDCard/Books, but no matter what I do, fbreader can't find anything but its own info screen.

Hi,

I'm sure that cannot depedns on installed Aldiko. Please check again
if the directory name 'Books' -- with uppercased 'B' (and lowercased
'ooks').

You also can do the following: in the web browser, go to the page
http://feedbooks.mobi/, and click to download any book in epub format.
In the choice menu select 'FBReader'. A book should be downloaed into
a correct directory and
opened in FBReader. Please let me know if this will work or not.

Best,

-- Nikolay

Thank you for your response. :I found that I needed to press MENU to find
the books in Fbreader. I thought a list of them would show up, as happens in
Aldiko and in the other e-readers. That should be documented somewhere!
